Description
Summary:The existing standalone microgrids (MGs) require good energy management systems (EMSs) to respond to energy needs. The EMS presented in this paper is used for an MG based on PV and wind energy sources. The energy storage system is implemented using three packs of batteries. Power smoothing is carried out via the introduction of supercapacitors (SCs) in parallel to the loads and sources. The distribution of energy of the presented MG is focused on the multi-agent system (MAS) using Fuzzy Logic Supervisor control. The MAS is used in order to leverage autonomous and interacting agents to optimize operations and achieve system objectives. To reduce the stress on batteries and avoid damaging all the batteries together by the charge and discharge cycles, one pack of batteries can usually be used. When this pack of batteries is fully discharged and there is a need for energy, it can be taken from another pack of batteries. The same analysis applies to the charge; when batteries of the first pack are fully charged and there is a surplus of energy, it can be stored in other packs of batteries. Two simulation results are used to demonstrate the efficiency of the EMS control used. These simulation tests are proposed with and without SCs.
